What is a good range? My doctor said 70-100. I know in a regular diabetic world it can be a little higher than 100 and you'll be okay. I just want to see yalls opinions. First time pregnant and first time gestional diabetic too!!

    For me I'm supposed to be 60 to 95 in the morning before I eat and then under 120 an hour after meals.

    This can be individual.. You need to ask your doctor.

    I went and saw another doctor in the practice. And she said that I can be between 90-130 but my readings in the morning need to be like 60-80. I know I need to listen to my doctors but I was curious what others had to say. First time mom and just like opinions! Thanks for you Input guys!!

    Ftm and I also have gb :/ not fun..... My doctor wants my blood sugar between 70 and 130 after each time I eat.. Breakfast I can have 30 carbs, lunch and dinner I can have up to 60 carbs each, I get 4 snacks a day and Thoses can be no more then 15 carbs each. I can have all the "free foods" I want... I'm not a big girl at all (133) I've only gained 13lbs this entire pregnancy (33w 3days) and my baby is already weighing around 6 of those that is why my diet is so strict. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy:)

    I know I'm a little late, but I echo what the others have said about this being completely tailored to an individual and what the doctor/dietician suggests for you specifically. However, if you are having trouble I found an excellent book/website by Lily Nicols on the GD and it helped me tremendously. 'Real Food for Gestational Diabetes'. With a lot of hard work, research, and monitoring by my 'team' of docs and specialists I was able to avoid insulin when it was almost inevitable.

    Has anyone noticed that the lower their blood sugar level is, the thinner their blood is?

    Mine has been watery. It seeps into my fingers print grooves making it hard to get enough to test.

    I'm a type 1 diabetic and 120 is the max 2 hours after meals. Fasting the max should be 95.

    You're the only other Type 1 I have seen on The Bump. Now I don't feel like such a weirdo.
